Trump Sparks Backlash With On-Camera Threat to Media. Former President Donald Trump caused uproar after warning the press that “changes are coming,” criticizing coverage of a failed Iran operation and calling journalists “out of control.”
The Committee to Protect Journalists condemned the statement as a threat to press freedom, warning it crossed a “dangerous line.” Critics say it wasn’t a slip but a calculated move to intimidate.
Supporters argue Trump is holding biased media accountable, but legal experts caution that undermining journalists endangers democratic institutions.
As tensions rise, the incident raises a critical question: Can the press remain free when power threatens retaliation?
